My general area of research is number theory. More
specifically, I am interested in hypergeometric functions over finite fields and their relationships to modular forms, counting points on
varieties over finite fields, and Mahler measure. I have worked with undergraduate students on projects related to both number theory and graph theory. Aside from my mathematical research, I am also interested in flipped classrooms, growth mindset in introductory level college mathematics classrooms, and other math pedogogy projects. Please email me if you are interested in finding out more about my research.

My thesis advisor was Matt Papanikolas. You can see my mathematical family tree here. (Courtesy of Dr. Amanda Beecher.)

I am married to
Eddie Fuselier, who is also a
mathematician, and is also an associate professor here at HPU. We have two wonderful daughters, Ellie and Sophie
who keep us very busy!

My parents, John and Joy, are retired from over 30 years of moving all over the
world doing various projects for my dad's job. They now live in Georgia and enjoy spoiling their grandchildren!

I have two siblings. My older sister Joanna
is a critical care nurse and lives in Georgia with her husband and wonderful kiddos. My younger
brother Justin works in currency exchange and lives in NYC with his lovely wife.
